Yes. You read that correctly.

Sissy overheard a man that works at Kroger, here in Houston, that a Trader Joe’s will be popping up soon.

The first one is said to be in Dallas. Then building in Houston and Austin as well. So those of you who moved from places that have Trader Joe’s and landed here in one of those cities, you’re in luck!

Here’s an article for you to read if you’re skeptical about it.

I will finally get to see what they hype is all about!

I wish they build one in San Antonio. Guess if I like Trader Joe’s that much, I’ll make the drive to Austin for it.

I tried some Whey Protein today. It was pretty yummy but I don’t know if I would need it. Maybe once I’m in San Antonio where I don’t eat that much meat.

How does one know how much protein to take?!

If you follow my twitter account you would know this.

I won my first giveaway!!! Thanks to Team Giles and Flatout Bread!

It comes with so much stuff and I’m very excited to try it all out! Eeep!

It’s been a really good Friday so far. Got to hang out with Sissy and winning the giveaway.

But the day isn’t over. I get to see some of my best girls tonight! Whoo!!

I’ve been eating a lot of OOIAJ because it’s so easy to take to work. Seriously … if you were to have asked me last month if I would like eating oats, my answer would be “NO WAY JOSE!” But now, I’m a lover of oats, only if it’s in this form. Especially when it’s mixed with vanilla yogurt, almond milk, peanut butter, Nutella, and lots of blueberries. Yum!

Speaking of work, I finally finished the project I was assigned to, yesterday! Then Michelle H. came in and discussed America’s debt.

And so my rant begins. I wish the government took the time to track where the financial aid and loans they give out are being used for. I see so many college students using it to buy fancy things and go on vacations instead. They were somehow able to cheat the government which isn’t fair to others who really need it.

Then there are people who choose not to work and ask for food stamps instead. Some even have multiple kids knowing well enough they cannot take care of them just so they can receive more welfare. It’s just not fair for those that truly need it. End rant.

Rose, Karen, and Katherine came to visit the office then I left work early for a late lunch with them at Cheddar’s. Karen is such a delight. I love her! I was sad when we all had to leave. But a little happy I didn’t have to head back to the office.

Later that night I went over to Michelle’s house. (A different Michelle than Michelle H. … just to be clear.) There are five recliners in their movie room and the closet inside that room are filled with loads and loads of DVDs, home videos, and devices where you can buy movies instantly and watch them. Oh, how technology has changed.

There’s even a popcorn machine in the corner! Michelle’s dad came upstairs to make us some to eat while we watched a movie.

They even have these little bowls with a separator at the bottom to make the kernels fall through. So dang genius!

And the jumbo screen for your viewing pleasure!

Luckily, we did not watch Insidious because I told them that if they did I would pee my pants and never hang out with them again.

We ended up watching Limitless where he takes a pill and ends up doing impossible things. In the end of the movie, Bradley Cooper speaks Chinese which kind of butchers the whole movie for me, but it was still a pretty great movie.

When I got home a little after one in the morning, I watched My Future Boyfriend before heading to bed. Barry Watson’s character travels back in time from year 3000 something to find out what love, passion, sex, etc. is since, in their year, there is no such thing.

I think I can say this Friday was the best Friday all summer yet!

Sissy came home today and we sat at the kitchen table pinning things on Pinterest. Ever heard of it? It’s like Tumblr but not.

This is what my Pinterest looks like at the moment. Not much has been pinned but we’ll get there.

Onto Kohl’s online shopping and Chinese Drama watching.

Night y’all!

Mother Nature sure is amazing. The view I saw as I was driving home. There was a lot of clouds but the sun shining through is unreal.

Then it started to rain while the sun was still shining brightly. What is going on Mother Nature? Couldn’t make up your mind?!

Sporks are possibly the best utensil ever created. I wish it was a legit silverware that comes in a set.

I thought it was genius when Wall-e didn’t know where to put it, spoon pile or fork pile. It was pretty much the only part I liked about the whole movie. Oh, and when the fat people fell off their thingies.

I can only find the plastic ones from KFC or Taco Bell … which sucks because I don’t go to either. Someone, steal me some and ship it to me? K, thanks.

And on that note, I’ll leave you with this.
